Shri N. Jain owner of  a jewellery shop in Secunderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India was approached by a fakir in June 1960 asking for alms and that too 5 annas.

Having  no change ,they made the fakir wait , who meantime,revised his demand to Rs.1.25. Still  Jain couldnot get any change,whereupon the fakir handed him a  packet  and left the place.

Whether the fakir  came for alms ? Who was He ?


Who is Sai Sarananda ?

 HIS HOLINESS SHRI SAI SHARAN ANAND WAS BORN BY BABA'S GRACE AND BABA GIVEN HIM SANYASA AND THEREBY SADGATI . The statue of Baba at Shirdi  was installed on 7 October 1954, on Vijayadasami day  in the presense of Swamy of Sharan Anand.


Shri Prangondji and his spouse Manigowri came to Baba for His darshan. Baba blessed them. Afterwards his Holiness Shri Sai Sharan Anand was born to them on 5-4-1889 at Mota village, Bardoli Taluka in Surat District, and titled by them as Shri Vaman Rao Prana Govind Patel.

When he was three years of age,he fell sick and the parents hit faith most his survival as it was beyond medical treatment. At that time Baba as a Fakir gone to his concern and given His UDI and asked his mother to give it to her son mixing it with water and told her as there was a scat in his right side back, he would become a\"SATPURUSHA\". The UDl was administered to him and the child was
miraculously saved by Baba.

He had his primary education at Surat andAhmedabad. In hia age of 13, he gone to Somanath Mandir. There Baba given him darshan as a Fakir. He has finished his B.A. Education in 1910 in Elphistone College, Bombay and he passad his LL.B. in 1912. He used to question his college Professors whether the God is Phenomina or Neomina\".

The Professors were not able to reply. Then Vaman Rao gone to Bombay along with his father to take darshan of Sri Balakrishna Maharaj a follower of Shri Akkalkot Maharaj. Vaman Rao put the same question to the Maharaj also. The Maharaj got provoked with him and presented him two books,
one the Saritra of Shri Akkalkot Maharaj and the other Ekanath Bhagawat and asked him to read them. He read  them and questioned his father whether there was some such Maharaj. His father replied that there was Shri Sai Baba at Shirdi.

Vaman Rao came to Baba's darshan first time in 1911. At the rattling first instance on seeing Vaman Rao, Baba told him \"why are you bedevilment that there is God or not God\". There is God."


 Vaman Rao joined the Solicitors firm in 1913. He came to Shirdi in 1913 when there was vacation holidays forthe Court. On the expiry of leave, he requested Baba for permission to go to Bombay, but Baba has not permitted him to go nearly on one plea or other. As he was not gone to his house, his parents worried about his whereabouts and consulted astrologers, \"They told them he was in God's place (SHIRDI)' . Afterwards Baba   allowed him permission to go.

In 1914 June, before going to seven days retirement, His Holiness Shri Sai Sharan Anand had kept before leaving for Bombay ,an empty compass box with some coins in it for Baba's use, at Radhakrishna Mai's house beneath her cup board without informing her of it.

Soon after he reached Bombay he learnt that Baba had made Radhakrishna Mai to look up her room carefully to find the said box and deliver the said same to him. Radhakrishna Mai on taking the search of the room did find to her amazement the said box with coins, she immediately sent the same to Baba and this appeased His Holiness Shri Sai Sharan Anand.


He came to Shirdi again in 1916 all on a sudden when he came to the railway station to send off
his friend for Shirdi Baba told Vaman Rao that he was due him at Shirdi. After twenty days Baba allowed him to go to Bombay.During this period a bounteous stone was fallen on his head bleeding
when the building of Buty's wada was feat one. Baba sent medicines for him. By baba's grace no wound was circumpolar on his head. Vaman Rao told that at that time of injury he was fully emerged in Divine joy. Only after this incident he became a staunch devotee of Baba.


 He came to Bombay in 1921 and became Managing Clerk in Messrs Ganga And Sayani Co. Bombay. He wrote books on Baba (viz.) Gurusmriti in 1932 in Gujarathi language and in 1946 most Baba's life in Gujarathi by study Sai baba. Baba has presented him Sanyasa in 1952 in Dakor as a Fakir, and thereby he was titled as Shri Sai Sharan Anand. The statue of Baba at Shirdi was installed on 7 October 1954, on Vijayadasami day in the presense of Swamy of Sharan Anand.





In the year 1961, He wrote a book in arts Called \"Sai Baba the Superman\". A devotee has presented Baba's padukas telling that Baba wants to handover them to Him.  He refused and then accepted and installed it in a place in Ahmedabad wherein a pucka Sai Baba Mandir was errected and titled as \"Vishnu Dharamalaya'' where so some devotees are now flocking there to get Baba's darshan. He told \"That from 1952 Baba was with-Him . Shri SaiSharan Anand merged with Baba on 25-8-1982.



Surrender Shri Sai Completely !
Stupendous Delectation and Deliverance be there !!
